Stabilization of 200‐Atom Platinum Nanoparticles by Organosilane Fragments

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Three's a charm: Platinum nanoparticles of 2 nm diameter and containing approximately 200 atoms covered with n-octylsilyl groups (see picture, right; Pt blue, Si red, C gray, H turquoise) form when [Pt(dba)2] (dba=dibenzylideneacetone) decomposes in the presence of n-octylsilane. The particles adopt a cuboctahedral structure with an edge length of three atoms.
